What is a cell wall composed of that is also found in the exoskeleton of insects?

Cell walls of fungi are similar to exoskeletons of insects because they are both made up of chitin. Chitin is made up of complex carbohydrates.


What kingdom comprises of organisms with cell walls that has the same substance as that of the outer bodies of insects?

The kingdom fungi has organisms with cell walls made of chitin (the substance that makes up insect exoskeletons).


How does the animals with skeleton external grow?

An animal (insect) with an exoskeleton still grows under its exoskeleton like any other animal (insect). The exoskeleton is like a suit of armor, when the animal (insect) grows to big to fit inside its exoskeleton it sheds it, and a newer exoskeleton will grow to fit the animal (insect).


What is the blood pigment of an insect is called?

The blood pigment of an insect is called hemolymph. Hemolymph is a fluid that circulates through the insect's body and helps transport nutrients, hormones, and waste products. It is functionally similar to blood in vertebrates.


What is the biological function of chitin?

Chitin is a polysaccharide (polymer of sugar [saccharide], monomers) that is found in the exoskeletons of arthropods (insects, crabs, lobsters, shrimp), mollusks, and in thebeaks of cephalopods (squid and octopus). It is also found in the cell walls of fungi.Unlike glycogen and starch, which are used for energy storage, chitin is primarily used as a structural component, strengthening exoskeletons, shells, and cell walls.Chitin is a polysaccharide that helps to strengthen the cell walls of fungi and forms the strong, yet flexible, exoskeleton of arthropods.it isthe cell-wal of the fungi
